A webcam wedding celebration

March 28, 2008 on 8:47 am | In Fun Stuff |

One of our team members, Mazi, got married last month under the rotunda at San Francisco’s City Hall. His wife, Mariana, is from Argentina and her family was unable to fly up for the wedding. So at their reception, Mazi and Mariana hooked up their laptop and webcam, signed into Yahoo! Messenger, and shared their live celebration with Mariana’s family thousands of miles away in Buenos Aires.

Bringing webcams along to big events seems to be a growing trend, especially in the delivery room. In August of last year, an airman stationed in Afghanistan was able to watch the birth of his baby girl back home in Oklahoma with the help of the hospital’s webcam live feed. Read the full story

Congratulations to Mazi and Mariana! Maybe they’ll inspire you to think of fun ways to include your far away family and friends in your next big event.
